Reference :- It's been a dull Christmas here at Kooralya .

Reference :- With the Sky News anchors on holidays , or in rehab , or getting their Botox injections , or whatever it is they do over Christmas , there has been little work for us here at The Sky Reply .  

After dealing with all the usual Christmas chores  , it was time to slip down to the Post Office and collect the mail .   We like to keep a list of the things we must attend to once the Christmas festivities have ended . It's much the same every year . A trip to the local tip with lots of wrapping paper , boxes , rotting food , and piles of empty booze bottles.  A couple of sympathy calls  to friends whose partners left them after a Christmas Day argument .  A Boxing Day sale excursion to the general store to stock up on 303 cartridges .  A phone call to the Kooralya cop shop to see if anybody needs bailing out . And a visit to the hospital to cheer those who were injured in a brawl at the pub or came down with sudden inexplicable pancreatitis . 

Anyway , we were greatly pleased to find a dodger in the mail explaining the government's strategy for the imminent federal election .  It's been a tough few years , and citizens are looking for something fresh to buoy their spirits .  And Mr Morrison's team has not let us down .   Marketing gurus tell us that a three word catch phrase is what folk respond to , and the LNP has come up with a beauty . 

The economy is fighting back , we are told ,  and it is up to us as individuals to join with the economy as it fights back  .   That is sound advice , since nobody would wish to be left behind as the economy gets back into it's stride .  So the new catch phrase is  " Growth and Jobs ".   What  a refreshing change from the tired old slogan " Jobs and Growth  that miraculously saw the Tories win the last election . 

That's the thing about the LNP , they have the talent to produce fresh ideas and innovate as the need arises .  I reckon they have the next election in the bag already .
